I second that very much, I really want to see them! The Dream Theater set was fine as well, lots of ol' goodies.

No surprise in the slightest.

Its amazing how much a festival's line up can suck compared to a year before. Last year this festival had Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.

And this year it had Heaven & Hell, Dream Theater, Queensryche, Edguy, Saxon (although their bus broke down and they cancelled), Down, Blind Guardian... I don't see a problem.

It was also in a smaller venue (last year was Arena Parc Nord in Bologna), and only two days instead of three. So by definition there'll be less money to spend on bands... and they still got four headliners.

I see .. the smaller venue does explain the difference in the lineup. Still some good bands for sure.

Also don't forget that after Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Slayer, Testament, Carcass and Iced Earth last year the rest of the line-up was pretty lame.

Yngwie Malmsteen and Obituary are cool, but other than that...

This year also had: Voivod, Carcass, Lauren Harris, Cynic, Black Dahlia Murder, Extrema, Mastodon, Backyard Babies, Lita Ford, Tesla, Napalm Death and Static-X.

Total number of bands was 25 both years, too.
